Lunch date

 Just to ease your mind- I didn't poop the bed last night. I thought that I might I really had strong Sensations that I might but this did not occur which I'm greatly thankful. I just you thought you'd all want to update.

I had lunch today with my buddy Duane from the old days when I worked for the state and before that Independent Living. This is becoming a fairly regular occurrence. It's nice to have an ongoing relationship with someone who is somewhat close to your thought process. This guy is a lot more tuned in to the world than I am has some definite opinions on the political going down to the world and it's always good to hear his take on what's going on in any particular time. I wish I could think this way much deeper than I do. He had a real education and thinking is much more refined than mine. Once again he brought the lunch and we ate it over at the park next door. I don't know what's going on there's no band practice tonight I guess. Today's menu was something Hawaiian I had something like Hawaiian beef it was pretty good. Actually any meal provided that U / I don't have to pay for is a good meal in my estimation. The meal says it's Hawaiian but it's tastes very Asian which is good with me. I think I've rehashed a number of times how much I wish that I could cook better Asian than I do. Most of my Asian dishes consist of some form of stir fry with a lot of soy sauce. I can cook I just choose not to I guess more than not. I really need to spend a lot more time putting together rice just white rice that I could serve with my Asian dish whatever it might be IE again once again it's stir fry bunch of different vegetables thrown together with what I think might be somewhat Asian in general. What I really need to do is get on down to the Asian market and once again get the sauces- which intimidate the hell out of me - - so I can start making dishes with the flavor that I really want. I just don't really know how to use these sauces. I'm afraid that the sauce that I choose will not be what I really want to use it well destroy the whole dish. I used to be a lot more of an aggressive cook and took more chances than I do these days. I'm sure it's just another function of age that I'm dealing with which still drives me crazy.

Tomorrow, they are filming a documentary about organization I volunteer for who I'm a board of directors. It's a little intimidating they want us to come to this Buffet tomorrow evening and we're all going to be filmed eating and talking about the organization. I don't know how involved it's going to be but it sounds pretty complicated. The event starts around 7:00 p.m. and ends at 9:00 p.m. a buffets included and a lot of shots of the board. They want us to wear white shirts and a jacket and a tie if we so desire. I really wasn't intimidated by the whole thing for the email but I talked to the guys that are actually doing it and they said you can come as you are if you desire. I had Melissa pull out a white shirt with a collar and some slacks but I think I can get away with my nice shorts. That means tomorrow though will be a long day …
